Prayer:
Finding the Heart's True Home
By
Richard
J. Foster
Best-selling author
Richard J. Foster offers a warm, compelling, and sensitive primer on prayer,
helping us to understand, experience, and practice it in its many forms-from the
simple prayer of beginning again to unceasing prayer. He clarifies the prayer
process, answers common misconceptions, and shows the way into prayers of
contemplation, healing, blessing, forgiveness, and rest. Coming
to prayer is like coming home, Foster says. "Nothing feels more right, more
like what we are created to be and to do. Yet at the same time we are confronted
with great mysteries. Who hasn't struggled with the puzzle of unanswered prayer?
Who hasn't wondered how a finite person can commune with the infinite Creator of
the universe? Who hasn't questioned whether prayer isn't merely psychological
manipulation after all? We do our best, of course, to answer these knotty
questions but when all is said and done, there is a sense in which these
mysteries remain unanswered and unanswerable . . . At such times we must learn
to become comfortable with the mystery."
Foster
shows how prayer can move us inward into personal transformation, upward toward
intimacy with God, and outward to minister to others. He leads us beyond
questions to a deeper understanding and practice of prayer, bringing us closer
to God, to ourselves, and to our community.
